Light Controller vs Polaris
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Light Controller
Control LED bulbs from following manufacturers: * AppLamp * EasyBulb * Limitless LED * MiLight * ilux The widget gives you easy access to switch each zone on and off as well as global control. Also included is easy access to the main application for more advanced control. There are a number of configurable modes. Light listening mode will attempt to detect the beat of the music playing and pulse different colors to the music, candle mode to emulate the flickering of a candle, along with the built in disco modes. You will need the Wifi Controller box to access these lights from the application. If the application doesn't work out of the box, you may need to setup the IP address of your controller box, by default the application will attempt to broadcast to the whole network, this does not work in all setups.
